This is the saddest blog post I have ever read on your blog. Possibly chabging the name to gｓBS might be appropriate. It is purely a propaganda piece from the Ministry of Forestry and Fisheries (Agriculture) to buy Japanese grown food.

The problems are not is an 'unhealthy' diet. In the first place it is absurd to call the diets of the world unhealthy compared to a diet of fish rice and miso soup. Rice is full of carbs, eating too much will make you just as fat as a super sized value meal. Fried tempura???

Japanese agriculture is the root of the problem here. It is at below subsistence levels. Most agricultural farming in Africa is more productive. When I say that. I mean that the amount of rice produced by 95% of rice farmers in 1 year is less than they could survive on in that 1 year. They can't support their own needs ad a farmer, let alone have a prosperous farm. I don't even need to mention the non-tariff barriers to entry of foreign rice. Japanese rice strains grown in California, for example.

Not an inconvenient truth, it is a big re-direction from the causes of the problem of poor managment by the ministry of Forestry and Fisheries.
